Beware:Kevin Bordeaux
Tuesday, August 07, 2007 2:28 PM
Should have posted this awhile ago but didn't think to until I got a PM from Tabs(Ben)about this guy.
I bought a set of 95-99 HID projector lights with the black projector lens and although his Ebay listing
said used,they were a little worse than that.Pass. side has all these spider web cracks in the front,although
not all the way thru and they do not leak.Driver's side is fine and all the tabs for the bulbs to hook into were
melted.I paid $84+shipp. and was def. unhappy.I am sure Tabs will chime in here on the item he bought
from this guy and received some junk.His Ebay name is Girls123Cars123 and he has items in the Org.
class. for sale..so buyer beware.I also did not think to try and get my money back thru Paypal,my mistake.
BTW these lights are For Sale for half of what I paid,$40 shipped U.S.I have pics if interested but the ones I
have do not show the blemishes.Thanks

I think people are just trying to stay away from threads like this right now because they seem to get out of hand and eventually locked.

Thanks for letting us know though, I hate it when that happenes. Thats why I only buy from people in person or from repitubal compaines with good histories in cutomer satisfaction and quality. I've been screwed to many times to just blindley trust people anymore.

I mean from a distance the lights look cool but up close,they suck,and I have had many interested in buying these but I will not lie and not say what's wrong with them.So needless to say I can't sell em'.Oh well,live and learn,even at 32yrs. old

That's strange,

He's like Mr. secret cam, and I've bought several sets never a problem.
I've bought his port matched HO manifold, very good shape.

As far as 'used' projector lenses, you are correct.
Those things are hit or miss.
I've got some pretty crappy and near unusable lenses from ebay when the listed said 'used'.
And they must used pretty cheap plastic or something, because I've got a number of them with melted housings on the back.

So, yeah probably, he should have had a more accurate description.
But Kevin has been on the up and up over the years as far as I can tell.

I had problems with him about a year or so ago. I bought a secret exhaust cam from him. It arrived and had some good scratches in the lobes as well as a chunk out of one of the lobes. I definitely wasn't going to put that in my motor. I e-mailed him about it and he was a royal ass. He wouldn't take it back. I wish I still had the e-mail. His reply asked me how he was supposed to make any money when he goes to the yard and gets the cams, packs them up, ships them out, and then has to deal with a picky person like me. I was PISSED. I mean it wasn't my fault that the cam was in bad shape. I shouldn't be out the money because of it. The auction stated it was in "great" shape. Hah! I would NEVER deal with him again. I ended up taking the hit on it and just went to AutoZone and bought a brand new one. So I completely agree, BEWARE!

Good heads up... but I'll chime in on the price of those projectors... Originally, there were $400 or so new... so $80 is a heck of a deal, even if they are a bit beat on. Now, compared to a new set, at $100 on Ebay now.... not such a good deal... so... take it for what you will

Not to bring this back but I was more upset that the tabs where the bulbs hook into were melted,where
am I supposed to find replacements for those?
